0:06 AI will replace portions of these jobs and savvy people in these industries will adapt and learn the AI tools. Many jobs will be lost as fewer people will be needed to do this work for essentially the same time and effort. Many new people will struggle to find entry-level positions with their qualifications.
No, you cannot, because congress has a job a machine can never perform. AI could do the mechanical aspects - enacting laws, allocating budgets, voting on things etc. It could not ever exercise and independent mind, especially in a problem outside its training data. In addition, AI has no free will, so someone must set its objective function. Who would that be for congress? It would open it up to horrible abuse. I sense your question is more out of frustration from repeated shutdowns, which may just be a feature and not a bug.
On a whim, I decided to learn Python two months ago and spent hundreds of dollars on books because I'm a pretty decent book learner. I'm 2 months into learning python and I'm getting fairly decent at it. The idea was that, I can get a job as a coder somewhere at some company... Aaaand then I saw this. I'm fully embracing the sunk cost fallacy here. I'm going to finish learning everything I can even if there's no job for me. Might as well. I hope that there's still some kind of job I can get with this because the whole idea was to get out of being a security officer. That's usually the Story of My Life though. I was learning how to be a pilot when I was a teenager and then I found out I was color blind! I had no idea. There are so many jobs that you can't have if your color blind. I sort of fell into doing security work and now I'm completely tired of it. I don't want to go into debt to go back to college again, which is why I decided on learning coding on my own. I'm going to go ahead and finish learning. I'm used to not having jobs after I finish the training courses.
@bryanholland6987 I didn't mean to create this video to disencourage you. I think you are doing the right thing. Coding, even in its stagnating form, will be way better then security. Do continue your study (and Python is the right language). What I would recommend, in the meantime, find a few friends among software developers, who are experienced and upbeat. Seek for guidance from them. That will help you find a better place that security, trust me. You are heading the right way, the right path. It is just that this path is changing (like everything in this life). But with your persistence you will be fine. You know, I have a story. Long time ago a good friend of mine told me a story of a rose and dandelion. There was a rose and a dandelion. The rose thought: "Oh, this soil's acidity is so high. I am going to die here." And the dandelion thought: "Nice, it is concrete. Love it!" Quite a few times in my life I was in a situation, when everything looked to be against me. And then this story was coming to me again and again. Dandelion. Be dandelion. Colour blindness is not much fun. But it is what it is. Be dandelion, Bryan.
Look into glasses that correct for color blindness and whether that would work for piloting or something else. I'd be willing to be AI has a solution for THAT, too.
I mean at that point survival + self-sufficiency skills are FAR more important because you won't want to exist in an environment where everyone is laid off with no lifelines/assistance as it will turn into a dystopian sci-fi apocalypse very quickly
Changing profession for a senior could be like a death sentence. First to reach a senior level with high paid salaries it would take decades, this means old age, who have been living in specific life standard and with high living expenses. And when you change a profession you are a junior again , if anyone would even hire in a place of a younger junior. For example, where I am living I am not allowed to send my kids to public schools hence I gave to send them to private schools, which on average would cost 12k usd per kid. What junior job will cover this cost.
A senior who was paid well for a lifetime should have a paid-off house (and no kids to worry about). AI is far better than private schools as a learning tool, it's well past time that was implemented. The old farming schedule for school needs to go the way of the buggy whip.
I'm not a developer but I think that the best path for you is stick with the job but learn how to use AI to be more efficient at it. AI programming may still be a bit weak but that will likely change and very fast... starting this year. The agent, Devin, is already showing some promise but that will step up a notch with newer AI models being released as we go through this year. I think by the end of this year, AI programming will be a lot more advanced than it is today and will change even more during 2025. We'll probably still need developers for a few years yet but the nature of the job will change.
I am sorry to tell you that eventually AI will completely take over development. In the same field I believe a product manager will live longer than developers
Stay right where you are - development requirements will increase far faster than AI can soak up work. Think of it like this - AI will increase the amount of work one dev can do 5x. It will increase the amount of work needed to be done 10x. It will do this because costs will fall. In the past, it cost say $50000 for a decent dev job. Now it will be $10 000 but happen 5x faster. I am both a developer and AI practitioner. It will take you a number of years to learn data science, math, neural nets, LLMS etc - by that stage you will be burnt out.
AI can currently only do small dev jobs - 1000 lines or so max. Bigger programs are out of reach. Sure, accuracy will improve but there is a limit. @@UserOfAnEra
@@Scripter_story yeah, prompt engineering is more of a task than a job, just like document formatting and copyediting is only one of the tasks of a secretary
u are insane. lawyers? never, lawyer is 50% an actor, tax advisor? hmmm tax advisors many times evolves "unethical things", so it must be some private ai model, and even then, human will be needed.
You are correct. What will happen though is that you will need 5x less accountants, lawyers, advisors, hr than before. If you are in that profession and you get a termination notice it is effectively permanent unemployment.
In order for a machine to fully solve problems, it must be human. I think there is no need to worry until a full-fledged AGI. This is all hype and marketing to attract investment. Not one neural network can solve SPECIFIC problems, unless of course it is AGI
Nobody is talking about AGI. AI will carve big sections out of certain careers, like it has already done to editors, translators, illustrators, writers, call center peeps etc. Some specific problems are not yet solvable while others are easily solvable.
This created more competition. But it didn't replace it. It just became faster and easier to create something of high quality and complete individual tasks very quickly.@@michaelnurse9089
I mentioned AGI that I would compare the very idea of "replacing a person" with an automated AI that can independently achieve results, performing the work that is entrusted to it, and following the technical specifications in order to bring the result assigned to it. There's just a lot of hype about AI that will replace everything.
The job of an engineer is build a product that automates tasks, reduces human error, replaces humans, and then s/he moves to another product People may lose a job to automation, but a new group of people will need to be hired to maintain the new system if it breaks A job lost to automation will need people to maintain it.
